A massive natural disaster has struck Thailand! Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has officially declared all 50 districts of the capital a flood disaster zone after nearly 300 mm (11.8 inches) of non-stop rain dumped over 30 million cubic meters of water across the city.
Major roads, vehicles, and homes are completely submerged under waist-deep water as canals overflowed and emergency pumps struggled to drain the deluge. Municipal schools have been converted into emergency shelters while authorities coordinate massive relief operations for trapped residents. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul cut short an official trip to London to return and manage the crisis.
